SHELL SILVERSTEIN


F a l l i n g   U p

I tripped on my shoelace
And I fell up -
Up to the rooftops,
Up over the town,
Up past the tree tops,
Up over the mountains,
Up where the colors
Blend into the sounds.
But it got me so dizzy
When I looked around,
I got sick to my stomach
And I threw down.



N e e d l e s   a n d   P i n s

Needles and pins,
     Needles and pins,
Sew me a sail
     To catch me the wind.

Sew me a sail
     Strong as the gale,
Carpenter, bring out your
     Hammers and nails.

Hammers and nails,
     Hammers and nails,
Build me a boat
     To go chasing the whales.

Chasing the whales,
     Sailing the blue,
Find me a captain
     And sign me a crew.

Captain and crew,
     Captain and crew,
Take me, oh take me
     To anywhere new.



P o o r   A n g u s

Oh what do you do, poor Angus,
When hunger makes you cry?
"I fix myself and omelet, sir,
Of fluffy clouds and sky."

Oh what do you wear, poor Angus,
When winds blow down the hills?
"I sew myself a warm cloak, sir,
Of hope and daffodils."

Oh who do you love, poor Angus,
When Catherine's left the moor?
"Ah, then, sir, then's the only time
I feel I'm really poor."



D a n c i n'   i n   t h e   R a i n

So what if it drizzles
And dribbles and drips?
I'll splash in the garden,
I'll dance on the roof.
Let it rain on my skin,
It can't get in -
I'm waterproof.

George said, "God is short and fat."
Nick said, "No, He's tall and lean."
Len said, "With a long white beard."
"No," said John, "He's shaven clean."
Will said, "He's black," Bob said, "He's white."
Rhonda Rose said, "He's a She."
I smiled but never showed 'em all
The autographed photograph God sent to me.





Y u c k

I stepped in something yucky
As I walked by the crick.
I grabbed a stick to scrape it off,
The yuck stuck to my stick.
I tried to pull it off the stick,
The yuck stuck to my hand.
I tried to wash it off -- but it
Stuck to the washin' pan.
I called my dog to pull me loose,
The yuck stuck to his fur.
He rubbed himself against the cat,
The yuck got stuck to her.
My friends and neighbors came to help
Now all of us are stuck,
Which goes to show what happens
When one person steps in yuck.
